ROM problem due to my leg operation
I undergone operation for displaced, comminuted fracture of upper end of left tibia involving posterior part of medil condylle so open reduction and internal fixation using locking compression plates and screws was done, one screw was placed in between joints of my knee also.. It has been 4 months even after physiotherapy I couldn't able to get my active range of motion more than 90-100 degrees, can I get my normal ROM after removal of that screws and plate(recommended to remove aft an year)

"Screw between joints" of knee sounds scary.
Wether removal of screws and plates will affect ROM post removal depends on x-ray.
Share x-rays.
